Ukraine’s Bold Drone Offensive Allegedly Hits Over 40 Russian Warplanes

In a significant escalation, Ukraine claims to have successfully targeted and damaged more than 40 Russian aircraft through a series of unprecedented drone strikes.


Ukraine's security service, SBU, reported a considerable military operation aimed at destroying Russian bomber fleets, marking one of the most extensive drone attacks in the ongoing conflict.



Ukraine has declared that it has struck over 40 Russian warplanes across various military airfields in what is being hailed as one of the boldest drone assaults on Russian aviation to date. The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) reported that "enemy strategic bombers are burning en masse in Russia," indicating a substantial impact on Russian military capabilities. This coordinated effort is part of Ukraine's extensive campaign to degrade the enemy's air power.

Visuals circulating from the conflict suggest that a significant drone strike targeted the Belaya airbase located in Irkutsk oblast, Siberia, underscoring the reach and ambition of Ukraine's operations, which take place thousands of miles away from the frontline. Despite the ramifications of the attacks, Russia's military officials have yet to release any statements regarding the extent of the damages asserted by Ukraine.

As this story continues to unfold, more details regarding the attacks and potential ramifications will be provided. Stay alert for updates and follow reliable news outlets for the latest information on this developing situation.
